I received several emails from multiple people that all stated the same thing. Namely that I had won the U.K. National Lottery. I did some research and found that other people had been taken by these scammers and had sent checks to the so-called courier company but then never saw anything back. Several of the e-mail addresses that where used have been deleted and are no longer in service.

These people are out there to steal your money and there seems o be no way to trace them.
